Exploring Strengths: From Cognitive Development to Team Dynamics
In this episode, we go beyond the surface-level appreciation of Strengths, and delve into their developmental roots, dynamic nature, and vulnerability. As we pause from recording new episodes during the holiday season, we want to share the main six lessons from our course, Seeing Strengths from a New Perspective.

We invite you to wrestle with these lessons over the holiday break and engage with your Strengths in a new way in the new year. Enjoy!
Unlocking Personal and Professional Growth through Strengths Awareness
It’s the holiday season here in the United States and this time of year people often reflect and think about how they can do things differently in the new year ahead. Maybe they want to rethink elements of their job, personal life, habits or the way that they do things.
In this episode, we delve into the world of understanding and leveraging personal and team Strengths. We share excerpts from our course called Seeing Strengths from a New Perspective and highlight the first three lessons. It’s a fascinating way to think about your Strengths in a new or different way, or perhaps even consider things you’ve never considered before.
At Leadership Vision, we believe understanding our Strengths can help us navigate personal and professional growth more effectively. We encourage you to engage with these ideas over the holiday break and into the new year. Enjoy!
